Feedback types

Feedback types allow you to provide students with feedback on their assignments in different ways.

Feedback comments: If set to Yes, you can leave comments on each student's submission.

Feedback files: If set to Yes, you can upload files for students. These may be student files with edits, or an audio file providing feedback.

Offline grading worksheet: When enabled, you can download a worksheet with student grades while marking the assignment. This feature is not available when using advanced grading methods.

Comment inline: If enabled, the submission text will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading. This option allows you to comment inline (using a different color for markup) or to edit the original text.

Submission settings

Set how many submission attempts a student can complete, and what determines a submitted assignment.

Require students click submit button: If set to Yes, students must click a submit button to submit the assignment for grading. Use this setting for assignments with multiple attachments.

If a student does not click Submit Assignment, the status of the assignment is Draft (not submitted) in the gradebook. After a student clicks the Submit Assignment button, the status changes to Submitted for grading and they can no longer edit it. If you change this setting to Yes after some students have submitted assignments, those assignments will be marked as final.

When you require students to click submit, you have the option to revert the submission to draft status. Access the assignment, select View/grade all submissions, then select a student row, and in the With selected drop-down menu below the grading grid, choose Revert the submission to draft status.

Require students accept the submission statement: If enabled, students must accept a submission statement to submit the assignment. The text of the submission statement is set by the site administrator.

Attempts reopened: Determine if and how attempts can be reopened by students. This feature allows students to continue editing their submissions.

Maximum attempts: Type the maximum number of times a student can resubmit.

Type the minimum number of points a student needs to pass. (Optional.)

Select whether to use Blind marking. (Optional.) Set this option to Yes to hide names of students on submitted assignments. You must set this option BEFORE students submit the assignment.

After all students' assignments are graded, access the assignment and click View/grade all submissions. From the Grading action drop-down list, select Reveal student identities to show student names -AND- release the marks to students. This action cannot be undone.

Select whether to Use marking workflow. (Optional.) When set, marks go through a series of workflow stages before you release them to students. To learn more, see Marking workflows.
